Hi there

So what I understand then is being that I do not and never had a seizure disorder/epilepsy, and pdoc has been having me use the Lamictal for my Bipolar-II little over a year now, if I were to wean off I shouldn't have a convulsion/seiezure, right?
Pardon, my spelling or "mis" spelling, ha!ha!
I really would like to see if I myself have gotten over "the past" and discontinue the meds, but my pdoc seems concerned that with other things going on in my life (being mom's caregiver, she lives with me since Sept) it may not be a good idea, but I do not know, it boggles my mind, I have no opposition to meds, but if I really can do without them and save my hair from falling out, I'd like to take the chance

Sorry, this is long winded, I am just at a loss right now and keep wondering, if I should go with my gut instinct.
I have been on 200mgs per day of Lamictal (Lamotrogine) and started Klonopin (clonozapam?) when needed when I started having anxiety attacks this year, never had them before

Oh yes, he also gave me script for Ativan (lorazepam?) if needed to relax for sleep. Other than that I am taking only Lamictal, was weaned off Lithium (great and best drug for mania) at the time we both realized that was a short lived thing, I am more depressed than anything and AD's had stopped working.
I better stop yacking your ears off, and go before you "boot"e off, ha!ha! The main thing was I wanted to know if I stopped after almost 2 years would I go into seizures like an epilieptic would? Oh, I just was titrated up 50mgs more per day of the Lamictal but that was of my decision, if it didn't help me the pdoc said then drop back to the 200mgs per day, I had asked him if it would of helped during this crappy time (again) in my life

I guess it is all about timing.
Take care, and I hope all will be well for you and your family.
